Shaping our future together

As part of our ongoing work to develop and better ourselves, we regularly look for opportunities to strengthen parts of our culture that employees appreciate and focus on the places where we have room to improve.

One way we measure progress is through our Global Employee Engagement Survey, which allows our team to provide confidential feedback about the company, our culture, and the employee experience.

Our direct relationship with you enables anyone to raise issues, ideas, and suggestions directly with any leadership level. We take your feedback seriously and respond with action plans to improve the workplace and employee engagement. When we work together as a team, we benefit more and achieve change faster together.

We’re proud of our success in creating a supportive and engaging work environment but also underscore the company's commitment to continuous improvement based on employee feedback.

Tuition reimbursement and career progression

"Having the opportunity for tuition reimbursement is incredibly meaningful to me. It removes financial barriers, enhances my professional prospects, and reflects the commitment of Maximus to its employees' growth and development.

I want to set a positive example for my children and demonstrate the importance of education. I plan on growing with this wonderful company that believed in me when others would not." – Roberto

Health benefits

"During my breast cancer treatment, our health plan stepped in to provide an expert medical opinion on the experimental radiation treatment my team was proposing. The treatment information and study data they provided helped me make an informed decision about my care.

This is a service you hope you never need – but if you find out you have cancer – you do not want to be without.

I am grateful to Maximus for providing this additional service to its employees, and to the plan for the above-and-beyond service they provided to me.” – Anonymous employee letter to our medical insurance provider Anthem BCBS
